Some wool purses

I just finished making several wool purses for a customer order. I am always feeling the merino wool is much easier to get felted than other kinds of wool I used before. But felting is still time-consuming.

  

The little purse and a card

The little purse is my recent design. It's a little harder to make than other wool purses. I had to match many colors of wool well to make the bunny look cute and pretty. I selected colors from a big pile of my wool. Then poke the wools onto the purse with a needle. I spent almost 4 hours to finish poking the bunny and her dress. I got the idea from the "Hello Kitty" cartoon.

A new wool purse I made yesterday

I spent a lot of time in making this purse. When I finished it, it's so different from what I pictured. It's much cuter. I used almost double amount of wool than usual. The hardest job is making the little red hearts on it. I am always using the needle to make the little ball. That's another hard job. I just knew it could be made by a plastic tool in the water. I've never tried that way. Maybe, next time.
